Siternet

Siternet Post Deleter is a safe and controlled tool for bulk deleting WordPress posts in batches.
Instead of deleting all posts at once, the plugin allows administrators to remove posts step-by-step using a configurable batch size. This reduces the risk of server overload and accidental data loss.
Key features:
<ul>
<li>Batch-based deletion (adjustable size)</li>
<li>Optional category filtering</li>
<li>Permanent deletion (no trash)</li>
<li>Safe media cleanup</li>
<li>Featured image protection logic</li>
<li>Admin-only access with capability checks</li>
<li>Nonce-protected destructive actions</li>
</ul>
When deleting posts, the plugin also removes associated media. However, it includes a safety mechanism that prevents deletion of images still used as featured images in other posts.
This makes it suitable for content cleanup, migrations, and maintenance tasks.
